Proposed Drupal MeetUp Jan2012

-- Preferred venue and time is Makati, Waltermart area and a late Saturday morning, Jan. 15, 22, 29 or Feb. 7, around 10am-12nn. --

but Jan 15, 22, 29 in 2012 on my Calendar is Sunday, is that a typo?

BTW, I don't know if I'm missing something but upon clicking the sign up link, the spreadsheet is shown but I can't enter my name there, document seems to be read only, do we need to login to gmail first?

Hi Gary,

+1 for initiating an early meetup this 2012. I vote for co.lab Makati or somewhere public... but not too crowded (I think) like KFC Ayala-MRT station :P

Sounds good!

Hi Gary,

meetup have different time slot:

meetup 1 (by Gary): 10am - 12nn

meetup 2 (by Rachel): 1 - 5PM

Sa akin ay suggestion lang naman kung pwede :) , so this mean, we can go on with your meetup and still be able to attend the MS meetup.

So ok lang kahit hindi ma move ng sched. :)

If these meetups are on the same day then I'll only be able to attend one of them. Doing the whole day is a bit difficult for us married types (with two children under two years old) that don't want to be away from our families the whole day :-)

In any event there is of course only a fifty-fifty chance I will come anyhow. In addition being a committed family man, we have also just signed a lease on a new apartment and I have that added to my already full load of responsibilities.

But I'm still going to put a concerted effort to coming to one of them though. This will be the first meetup that I've known about since I initially found out about this Drupal community here in the Philippines.

tuloy until said otherwise, no merging necessary :)

12 people have signed up for the waltermart one, will find a resto there and make arrangements soon to make sure were all comfortable.

Thanks!

Just "in case" I have trouble finding you guys on the 28th, could I get the cell phone of one or two of you?
... my sun # is 09334989669

DOH! # ... [smacks self in the head] :-)

Ugh ... Could I claim a senior moment? ... I'm not a senior yet, but could I claim one? :-)

How many people are attending? Is there a fee? Is this noob friendly?

Mga kapatid,

Good news. It turns out may seminar area ang Camera Club of the Philippines at the 5th floor of Waltermart Makati, and since may kilala ako dun, binook ko na for 10-12am, Jan28 Saturday. So:

Final Venue - Camera Club Philippines 5th Floor Waltermart Makati. They have a seminar area with tables, chairs and a projector + screen there, just big enough to handle 20 people. WIFI is available on the 5th floor, but bring another option just in case.

Pass The Hat System - May cost tayo na P1.8k for 2 hours rental + projector. Everyone is encouraged to donate as much or as little as you can, kahit P20 ok na (I remember how it feels to be a hungry for knowledge but broke stude). As soon as we make 1.8k we'll stop collecting. I have paid ahead.

Now that we have a room + projector, pwede na tayo mag seminar. Please suggest your own topic, or choose amongst the ff. kung ano gusto niyo ituro / pagusapan:

1. Your sites.
2. The problems you encounter running / developing your sites.
3. Feeds
4. Drush demo
5. Panels
6. Using Feeds to import data sample.
7. Theming
8. Views and CCk
9. Views Theming
10. CCK
11. Node Theming
12. LAMPP Stack
13. Why you use Drupal
14. Your career using Drupal
15. Career options using Drupal
16. What you can do with Drupal (hopefully with sample sites)
17. Hosting (what do you recommend for Drupal, experiences).
18. Varnish, NGinx, caching etc.
19. atbp.

In other words, this is an unstructured FREE FOR ALL event, where we can get to know each other, learn more about others' uses of our fave CMS. We have a venue, tables and chairs plus, all we need to bring is our knowledge and a willingness to share!

BTW can someone bring a portable PA system / karaoke or anything that has a mic and speaker? Otherwise the speaker just has to raise his voice.

comments welcome, thank you!
Gary
